The 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Compact Reciprocating Saw (model XRJ01Z, tool only) is a highly versatile cutting tool. It offers variable speed (0 - 3,000 strokes per minute) and a 1/2” stroke length, enabling faster and more efficient cutting. The exclusive dual-position on/off switch allows you to choose between paddle or trigger switch operation for greater convenience. Contractors will love the “tool-less” blade change system, which speeds up blade installation and removal, increasing overall productivity. It's part of Makita’s large 18V Lithium-Ion series, powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style battery with fast charge times. Makita's Star Protection Computer Controls™ enhance tool performance and extend battery life by protecting against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. The tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with Star Protection. With a compact and ergonomic design (15-5/8” long) and weighing only 3.9 lbs. with battery (battery not included), it reduces operator fatigue. A built-in L.E.D. light illuminates the work area, and the rubberized soft grip provides added comfort. It's ideal for a wide range of cutting jobs and comes with a 3-year limited warranty. Remember to use only genuine Makita batteries and chargers.
Using this saw is easy. First, make sure you have a compatible Makita 18V Lithium-Ion battery with a Star symbol (battery sold separately). Insert the battery into the tool. You can choose how to operate the on/off switch - either with the paddle or the trigger, depending on your preference. Adjust the speed according to your cutting needs, with a range from 0 to 3,000 strokes per minute. When it's time to change the blade, use the “tool-less” blade change system for a quick swap. As for safety, always wear appropriate protective gear like goggles and gloves. Keep your hands away from the blade when it's in motion. When you're done using the saw, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Clean the saw regularly to keep it in good condition. Avoid overloading the tool to prevent damage. Also, only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure proper performance and safety. This saw comes with a 3-year limited warranty, so if you have any issues, reach out to Makita for support.
